This danger to life

[Darran]

Be safe pal don’t go getting scorched to death.

It’s about people not being able to breathe Darran, not sitting out and getting sunburn.
The difference between there and here when it’s a high temperature is incredible. It’s almost impossible here as the heat just bounces off all the buildings and it’s like an oven.
Everyone here at the moment is trying to work out where to go early next week to get away from it.

Yeah but you’re not going to die Lis.

So a red warning is serious when it's for high winds or snow, but not for sun? Got it, thanks for clearing that up. After all, the star of Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps isn't bothered...

The work event I was due to be at in London on Monday has been cancelled due to the inevitable disruption that’ll be caused to the transport network. Can’t say I’m disappointed, I was having to waste my Sunday travelling up there and didn’t fancy the prospect of not being able to get home. So Sunday is saved. All hail the sun gods!

Oh shut up it’s scaremongering bollox.
Oh and the winter was mentioned in the opening post.

That pleases me I’d be utterly devastated if something happened to you.

No, but neither will I die when it’s a flood and it still flooded me out of my house for 8 months last year after a red flood warning for London which wasn’t great.

I’m not talking about floods I’m asking why the f*ck every news channel,every weather report has to tell human beings what they should do if it’s hot.

They obviously issue red warnings for heat Willy-Nilly.
Oh, hang on, they’ve never done it before?
Ever?

Perhaps it’s unprecedented then and gives them cause for concern for people who are vulnerable so they warn so others can keep an eye out for them.
Bloody hell Darran. If you find it boring don’t watch it. No one is forcing you to presumably?

I’m not going to watch it until Wednesday when everyone will still be alive.

Good for you.

The weirdest thing for me is not that society needs to be told it’s going to be hot, it’s that society needs to be told it’s ok to ignore stuff that doesn’t interest them without whining about it!

Society is broken.

It was estimated an extra 10,000 people died in a fortnight in France during the 2003 heatwave. That, in a country used to high temperatures. Our Aircon in the car decided to pack up at 37°C. Windows down and it was still unbearably hot. The elderly, people with respiratory problems, it's going to be horrible for them.

Saying that, you'll be ok in Swansea :cloud:
